Fungi named in 1847

The Ustilaginaceae are a family of smut fungi in the order Ustilaginomycetes. Collectively, the family contains 17 genera and 607 species.

Tilletia is a genus of smut fungi in the Tilletiaceae family. Species in this genus are plant pathogens that affect various grasses. Tilletia indica, which causes Karnal bunt of wheat, and Tilletia horrida, responsible for rice kernel smut, are examples of species that affect economically important crops. The widespread genus contains about 175 species. The genus was circumscribed by Edmond Tulasne and Charles Tulasne in Ann. Sci. Nat. Bot. ser.3, vol.7 on page 112 in 1847. The genus was named after a agronomist from France, Mathieu Tillet (1714–1791).

The Tilletiales are an order of smut fungi in the class Exobasidiomycetes. It is a monotypic order, consisting of a single family, the Tilletiaceae, which contains seven genera. The roughly 150 species in the Tilletiales all infect hosts of the grass family, except for species of Erratomyces, which occur on legumes.

Coleosporium is a genus of rust fungi in the family Coleosporiaceae. The genus contains about 100 species. The aecial stages are parasitic on Pinus spp., and the telial stages on a wide range of angiosperms.

Microbotryum is a genus of smut fungi found in the family Microbotryaceae. It contains about 89 species, which are parasites of plants.

Hypoderma is a genus of fungi within the family Rhytismataceae. According to a 2008 estimate, the genus contains 54 species.

Uromyces geranii is a fungus species and plant pathogen which causes rust on geranium plants. The appearance of the fungus on the underside of the geranium leaves may vary depending on maturity of the rust, from dark spots (when first appearance) to orange swellings up to 2 cm in length.

Tilletia caries (synonymous with Tilletia tritici) is a basidiomycete that causes common bunt of wheat. The common names of this disease are stinking bunt of wheat and stinking smut of wheat. This pathogen infects wheat, rye, and various other grasses. T. caries is economically and agriculturally important because it reduces both the wheat yield and grain quality.

Coccomyces is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Rhytismataceae. The ascocarps of Coccomyces species form within the epidermal layer of a plant host. Many species are foliicolous, meaning they grow on leaves. In the Pacific Northwest, common hosts for Coccomyces species are plants in the family Ericaceae.

Ramalina menziesii, the lace lichen or fishnet, is a pale yellowish-green to grayish-green fruticose lichen. It grows up to a meter long, hanging from bark and twigs in a distinctive net-like or lace-like pattern that is unlike any other lichen in North America. It becomes a deeper green when wet. Apothecia are lecanorine. Lace lichen is an important food source for deer in the Coast Range of California, and a source of nest material for birds. It is highly variable in its growth form, with branches sometimes so slender as to appear like strands, sometimes tiny, and sometimes large with

Robergea is a genus of fungi within the family Stictidaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Jean-Baptiste Henri Joseph Desmazières in Ann. Sci. Nat. Bot. ser.3, vol.8 on page 177 in 1847. The genus name of Robergea is in honour of Michel Robert Roberge (1791–1864), who was a French botanist and mycologist. He taught as a teacher at various girls' schools in Caen.

Tremella exigua is a species of fungus in the family Tremellaceae. It produces small, dark, pustular, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) and is parasitic on pyrenomycetous fungi (Diaporthe and Cucurbitaria species) on dead branches of trees and shrubs. It was originally described from France.

Sporoschisma is a genus of fungi within the Chaetosphaeriaceae family.

Sporonema phacidioides is a plant pathogen infecting alfalfa.
